A medical office investigator released details of Kelly’s death on Monday (July 1, 2013) and the coroner ruled his death was caused by a drug overdose.

According to police reports Chris had been using a combination of cocaine and heroin.

A toxicology screening revealed that Kelly, 34, had a mixture of drugs in his system when he was pronounced dead on May 1, said Betty Honey of the Fulton County Medical Examiner’s office in Atlanta.

Honey said she did not know which specific drugs Kelly had used before his death. However, a police report from the night of Kelly’s death said his mother told investigators her son used cocaine and heroin the night before he died and had a history of drug abuse. (source)
